A filter drier for a cooling only condensing unit will have an arrow pointing in one direction. This is because the refrigerant that passes through it will always flow in the same direction. A heat pump filter drier must have the ability to allow the refrigerant to flow through it in either direction and so a filter drier that is made for a heat pump will have two arrows pointing in opposite directions.

In the high pressure side of the large copper tube there is a blue filter that has two valves like bicycle intertubes have on them What are they and can the filter be removed for cleaning?

This blue filter sounds like a filter/dryer and cannot be removed for cleaning by the homeowner. The larger copper tube is the low pressure side of the system, unless it is a heat pump. >>>>> As noted above the larger tube is the suction line. The filter is a refrigerant filter/dryer. If this is a heat pump the flow is bi directional (either way). The 2 access ports are for checking the pressure drop through it. The pressure drop will indicate if/when it is clogged and needs to be replaced. It is not servicable.


Why Air Standard Cycles are conceived?

Air standard cycles are conceived to permit thermodynamic calculations using the well-known and readily available thermodynamic properties of air. The results of such calculations may be used to predict compression ratio, specific heat ratio, and other operating parameters effects on thermal efficiency of a number of heat engines such as the Otto Cycle Heat Engine , the Diesel Cycle Heat Engine, and the Brayton Cycle Heat Engine.

Why is insulation used in walls of buildings?

To keep heat in - and cold out. Many buildings are poorly insulated ( the 'standard' house-brick is the main culprit. This lets heat escape through the walls (and roofs) of buildings. Insulation traps the heat inside.


Why is it important to know the moisture content in air entering the boiler?

Since water does not burn, any moisture in the combustion air will simply be heated by the fire. Since water has a large heat capacity, this results in wasted energy. The drier the combustion air the more efficiently the burner will burn.

How do you put in filter to heat pump?

The air filter will either be located at your "return" or "intake" grill (both are the same, different terminology only) or at the air handler. If you are talking about a refrigerant filter, you need a "bi-flow" refrigerant filter. Most people mount it nearest to the indoor coil and installed on the smaller line, usually 3/8". Even if you have a smaller than 5 ton equipment, I would use a "filter-drier" made for a 5 ton. On a bi-flow filter, It does not matter how or which direction you mount it in the line. A bi-flow filter will have 2 arrows like this -> <- For a standard air conditioning system, (cooling only/non heat pump)the filter drier will have only one arrow -> and should be installed closest to the indoor coil (evaporator) with the arrow pointing towards the evaporator.


Can you use heat on monofiber hair extensions?

Yes you can use heat on Monofibre extensions. You can use a blow drier on a medium heat or heated rollers. You shouldn't use straighteners ,but you don't need to. If you want Monofibre to be totally straight you can blow dry it straight. You should not use a blow drier on a top heat.

Can you wash your track spikes if you take the spikes out?

never wash your track shoes they will get messed up. Wash them by hand instead. Also don't put them into the drier either. the heat from the drier will melt your shoes.
